  • Remember when you said we'd marry
    On the wilder shores of love
    The tide, it changes fast
    Oh when you're fast it never lasts

    I cannot read between your lines
    You cannot make me read your tiny mind
    Oh who's got the time
    Oh you'd go blind

    [Chorus]
    Jesus & Mary are taking me down
    To the other side of town
    Where they don't count the days
    With steel blades on the walls of time
    They just dance naked in the sun all the time

    She's the jewel in your crown
    But I'm the gold that's gonna wear you down
    I'll keep you around this dirty old town

    Every time I put the stove on
    Dinner's cold by the time you come over
    Oh you turn over on that cold shoulder

    [Chorus]

    When you call and you call my name
    Baby, hazy, lazy
    Oh I'll sign on the dotted line
    When I lie back, I lie on my back
    Baby, hazy, lazy
    Oh I am not an animal

    Don't bring me down
    Don't bring me down
    Don't bring me down
    Don't bring me down
    Don't bring me down
    Don't bring me down Writer/s: Martha Wainwright
